Chapter 15 is a big sell
Mu Qiange was worried about whether the bear paw could be sold for a good price as Ah Jin said. It was dawn, and she hurriedly got up, and when she cleaned herself, she went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Ah Jin looked at Mu Qiange, who was gulping porridge, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his voice was as gentle as the soft sunshine in the morning.
"It's still early, don't rush, drink slowly and don't choke."
Mu Qiange hummed lightly, but the speed of drinking porridge did not slow down, she finished drinking a bowl of porridge, wiped her mouth casually, picked up the basket containing the prey, said a word to Ah Jin and left.
She had to go to town early, taking advantage of the low temperature in the morning, so that the bear's paws would still be fresh and smelly and could be bought for a good price.
In addition, the last time she met a few black-clothed people looking for Ah Jin in the city, she still remembers it vividly, so she doesn't want outsiders to know that Ah Jin can also hunt, and it is easy to expose her identity if it is spread out.
In order to avoid these troubles, she had to go early.
When she went to the town, some of the shops in the town had not yet opened, and she relied on the memory of the last time she came, and went directly to the Drunken Immortal Building.
The Drunken Immortal Building had just opened, and there were no guests inside, so she went in to take a look.
Xiao Er saw her and walked over, "This girl, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
didn't drive her away just because she was dressed plainly, just because of this, Mu Qiange had a good impression of this Drunken Immortal Building.
She smiled politely, took the basket off, and lifted the sackcloth covering it, "This big brother, do you collect prey here?" You see, the one who just came back from the hunt is very fat! ”
The shopkeeper looked at it, and there were two pheasants and four bear paws in the back basket, which were very clean and fat.
Xiao Er nodded slightly, "These prey are good, you wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper if you want to accept your prey." ”
"Thank you, little second brother." Mu Qiange smiled and thanked Xiao Er, Xiao Er shook his head and ran in, and after a while, he ran out again.
"The shopkeeper let you in, and he wants to take a look at the prey first."
"Your prey is very fat, and the shopkeeper will definitely buy it after seeing it." Xiao Er's words gave Mu Qiange a reassuring pill. She confidently picked up the basket and followed Xiao Er into the restaurant.
There was a slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting in the room, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and there should be an abacus and a brush in front of him.
Mu Qiange bowed to the man with a very good eye and said hello.
The shopkeeper nodded at her, and asked Mu Qiange to put down the basket, he looked at the prey, "Girl, who hunted this prey?" ”
Although Mu Qiange is not cunning, she is still smart, of course she will not casually say that it was Ah Jin who hunted it, "This is what my father hunted." Today, because I am not feeling well, I will be sold on my back. ”
After speaking, Mu Qiange raised his eyes and glanced at the shopkeeper, "Uncle shopkeeper, look at what price this prey can give?" ”
The shopkeeper stroked his chin, as if thinking. Without waiting for his answer for a moment, Mu Qiange couldn't help but be secretly anxious, just when she thought that the shopkeeper would not answer her, the man's voice sounded, "You prey are not bad, so be it!" 10 bear paws, 15 pheasants a pound! ”
The shopkeeper thought to himself, the restaurant also has to collect prey, looking at this girl's family must have encountered some difficulties, if you can help, you will help.
This price is not bad, Mu Qiange nodded immediately, and the shopkeeper asked people to weigh it, the pheasant was sold for one hundred and fifty wen, and the bear paw was sold for forty taels.
The shopkeeper counted it and handed a bag of silver taels to Mu Qiange, and she took it and put it in her pocket without counting.
Looking at Mu Qiange's movements, this invisible trust made the shopkeeper have a good impression of her.
"Uncle shopkeeper, my family also has some chickens and ducks, as well as eggs or something, can you send them all to the restaurant later?"
If the shopkeeper can agree, she will raise more chickens and ducks in the future, and she won't have to go elsewhere to find sales channels.
I never thought that the shopkeeper nodded directly and agreed, so that she could send any prey directly to the restaurant and see the price of the prey.
Mu Qiange thanked the shopkeeper again, walked out of the door with the basket on her back, and when she arrived at the door, she saw Xiao Er who had just led the way, she took out the ten copper plates and handed them to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er didn't refuse, he took it directly, he felt that Mu Qiange was still quite good at being a person, so he would sell her a favor, and whatever prey she brought in the future, he would make the shopkeeper accept it.
She walked away quickly after leaving the Drunken Immortal Tower, remembering the black-clothed man she had met in the city last time, She bought some meat and some snacks and left in an ox cart.
When Mu Qiange returned home, he didn't bother them when he saw Ah Jin teaching the two children to write big characters, and carried all the things into the kitchen.
"After a while, my sister went to town to buy some snacks and try them."
Seeing the hibiscus cake held by Mu Qian's singers, where did Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang still have the heart to study, staring at the plate and swallowing their saliva.
Ah Jin shook his head, his inquiring eyes swept around Mu Qiange, and asked in a mocking tone, "Why are you willing to buy such an expensive dim sum today, it's to pick up money." ”
Mu Qiange put down the plate and took a piece for Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang.
"Do you know how much your four bear paws sold for?"
Ah Jin obviously didn't dare to be interested in Yinliang, pursed his mouth, reached out and took a piece of pastry and ate it.
"Forty taels, and two pheasants sold for one hundred and fifty wen."
"That's it?" Ah Jin glanced at the money bag in Mu Qian's singer, and a faint pity flashed in his eyes.
"That's a lot, and it's unexpected."
Mu Qiange seemed to put the money bag treasure into her pocket, she hadn't seen so much money in the countryside for so long.
Ah Jin shook his head disapprehantly, "If these four bear paws are in the capital restaurant, the price has doubled." ”
Mu Qiange was unmoved by Ah Jin's words, if he took it to the capital, he didn't say if he could sell it at a good price as Ah Jin said, it was so far to the capital, maybe the bear paw would have broken down long ago, and it would be a loss to his wife and a soldier.
"I haven't eaten yet! I'm going to make you something to eat. ”
Hearing that it was delicious, the two children nodded violently, "Sister Qiange, the food you cook is so delicious, I have to reminisce it for several days every time." ”
Mu Qiange poured a cup of tea for one of them, and when she heard the praise of the two children, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "Is the food cooked by my sister really so delicious?" ”
The two children immediately responded: "Yes! It's really delicious. Even Ah Jin nodded slightly.
She already knew that her cooking skills were good, but she was still very happy to see Ah Jin's recognition of her.
Mu Qiange stood up and walked to the kitchen in a good mood.
"You wait, sister, I'll make you something to eat."
Ah Jin looked at Mu Qiange's back, and his eyes couldn't help but have more color.
Mu Qiange came to the kitchen and thought about making something delicious. Yu Guang floated to the noodle jar in the corner of the wall, and immediately became interested. She scooped two spoonfuls of white flour from the noodle jar, pinched a small handful of refined salt, mixed it with some water, and slowly began to form a cotton wool shape and kneaded it continuously. Once the surface is smooth, put on a damp cloth and start chopping vegetables.
The things in my own vegetable garden are also simple, I shred the cleaned peppers I picked in the vegetable field in the morning, and took out a piece of pre-marinated pig ears and shredded the same strips. Heat the pan with cold oil, green onions, ginger and garlic slices burst out of the fragrance, put in the green pepper belly shreds, stir-fry a few times, and soon the fragrance is fragrant.
On the other side, Ah Jin, who came in with the smell, helped Mu Qiange wash the cucumber for the first time, and then divided the cucumber into two under Mu Qiange's instructions, buckled it on the cutting board and slapped it loose with the back of the knife, and cut it with an oblique knife. Add salt, pour some vinegar, pinch some sugar, and finally pinch a small handful of washed green coriander cut foam from the vegetable frame and sprinkle it on it. Drizzle with sesame oil and set aside.
Ah Jin looked at Mu Qiange's approach, and secretly sighed in her heart that she was still a master of cooking, but when she saw the cucumber she made, she couldn't help but ask: "Qiange, what is the way to eat this cucumber with sugar in it!" ”
"How to eat fresh." Mu Qiange flipped in the pot, his mouth was not idle, the dough that had just fermented should be ready, you can help me knead the dough!
Ah Jin glared at Mu Qiange, "It's okay to help you cut vegetables, don't expect me to do the rest." ”
Mu Qiange knew that she couldn't rely on him, so she handed the spoon to Ah Jin, and she picked up the dough from the basin, sprinkled a thin layer of flour on the board, kneaded it a few times, and then cut it into several points with a kitchen knife, and kneaded it into long strips individually.
When the slender was already very finely rubbed, Mu Qiange pinched the nail with his hand, and then crushed it with his thumb, and it quickly became a small piece of noodles.
"If you see it, just do it, isn't it simple, do you want to give it a try?"
Seeing that Mu Qiange was also too busy, Ah Jin reluctantly helped her rub a piece of dough.
Looking at these tempting meals made by Mu Qiange, Ah Jin was determined, and he just wanted to finish it now so that he could eat the fragrant meal early.
Mu Qiange saw that the dishes in the pot were almost done, so he took a plate and put the dishes out, added water to the pot, and waited until the water boiled, and the noodles were almost rubbed.
The thin sheet of dough came out of the pot and soon swirled to the surface, disappearing with the tumbling water, and a thin haze rose from the kitchen.
"You can tell the two children to wash their hands and eat." Mu Qiange filled several bowls one by one, and quickly made braised pork from the pot.
The two children saw Ah Jin coming out with fragrant food, in order to eat it early, the two children had to go to the kitchen to help, but Mu Qiange refused, she was worried that the child would be burned.
When the meal was served, Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang looked at the noodles in the bowl, although they smelled very good, they had not eaten them.
"Sister Qiange, what is this?"
Mu Qiange smiled, "You guys will definitely like it if you taste it." ”
Seeing Mu Qiange say this, Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang didn't ask much, and they began to eat.
"Delicious ......"
Mu Qiange knew that Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang had never eaten it, and the countrymen liked to use flour to steam steamed buns, and they would not use them to make noodles.
Tonight is destined to be a harmonious and warm night.
Zhuangzi and Xiao Yangren ate three bowls of snoring although they were small, and Mu Qiange was afraid that they would eat it, so he took an apple for one of them, which was regarded as a dessert after dinner. And Ah Jin also ate an extra bowl of face, until he couldn't eat anymore and put down the chopsticks with satisfaction, and sighed: "I never thought the noodles were so delicious!" ”
Mu Qiange raised the corners of his mouth, "It's delicious, I will often make it for you in the future, and it's also a compensation for you." ”
"Really." The gentle breath that suddenly attached to Mu Qiange's ears made her blush instantly.
Mu Qiange turned her head and wanted to say to Ah Jin not to be so close, but her lips happened to meet Ah Jin's soft lips.
Zhuangzi and Xiao Yang hurriedly blindfolded their hands, and the two ghost elves picked up the fruit and ran under the banyan tree, pretending not to see anything.
"You ........."
Mu Qiange, who reacted, hurriedly pushed away Ah Jin in front of him and wiped his lips with his sleeve.
